ETA: I was not gender swaying.... I was trying to fall PG or not fall PG. so first and third child were the result of BD at ovulation to try and fall PG. DS2 was result of BDing and then getting a faint line on OPk I dictation beginning of a surge and we didn't want to fall PG then, so we did not BD again. bd was 5 days prior. Murph yes law of course was we were PG.

I'm pretty sure the first post on the gender swayers group has a list of people who are trying for a certain gender, and people who have tried and wether or not they succeeded (well it did 3 years ago when i was on there )

We used the O+12 method to concieve DD2, and obviously we got a girl I also changed my diet, and a couple of other things. The gender swayers buddy group is awesome, and you can also try the in gender website for more info

My GP told me about this gender of baby stuff in 1965. It is the one where you have to know when you ovulate and the males get there the fastest, but die off quickly and then the females take over. Worked for me everytime. DS1, DD1, DS2.

Diet didn't come into it, nor did tight underpants or warm baths.

That's the one I know about.....tracking ovulation, I knew every time I ovulated and bd'd right at that time ....this was more for fertility issues and the fact that I wasn't conceiving than trying to sway for A particular gender...but anyway, I got two boys!

sea going sailors are rumoured to be more likely to produce girl offspring. our last 2 kids are girls - he did sea time when both of our girls were conceived, but hadn't been to sea for a long while prior to our sons conception.

They DO know that statistically after a major disaster occurs (and they have good data post 9/11 in USA as well as the Tsunami) that more boy babies are born then is the norm for that society????? Natures way of saying that more males need to be produced for "protection" of species???

Do you have a reference for this one? I'd read the opposite but not from anywhere with strong referenced material.

Even if people claim they have success rates, how can you be sure it wasn't just coincidence? It's 50/50 so even if someone was trying for a boy, and got a boy, it is a good possibility that would've happened anyway.

Find me someone that had 10 children and it worked every single time. Then I might be a believer.

Wouldn't the opposite be true considering you need more females to make more babies, 1 male can impregnate hundreds of females to re-populate but if there aren't enough females the population would suffer.

Why would you even want to? why does it matter if you have a boy or a girl?

I so dont get this and find it really distasteful.

Because some people have a preference? They might not weep and wail if they get their preferred gender, but OTOH if you had 2 of one gender and were thinking "hmm, I wouldn't mind the other gender this time", what's wrong with doing some pretty simple stuff to maybe tip the scales in your favour?

ETA personally, trying for #2, I don't care what we get, just a pregnancy would be nice.

That's your choice, but when there's ways out there to potentially influence gender then it's someone else's own choice (their body, their lives) to choose to try them. I find someone saying that other people can't or shouldn't use gender influencing techniques as distasteful. Your rules aren't their rules. In fact it comes off a judgemental.

For my boys, I didn't have any dairy but soy milk. I am lactose intolerant. My diet is very bland in general. I don't eat chocolate. I am allergic.

I did look up the gender diet to conceive a girl but most food I was intolerant or just couldn't be bothered. I saw it on tv that the gender diet worked so I was curious. For my girl, I had dairy. I had cereal with lactose free milk every morning and jam at night with crackers. A faze I was going through. All my conception dates, I have no idea.
